No Business (Lithuania), 2014. New Copy ... $9.99 18.99
The title definitely lives up to the sound of the record – a really loose, free session from a quartet that includes strong work from both trumpeter Peter Evans and tenorist Rodrigo Amado – the latter of whom leads the group!

No Business (Lithuania), 2019. New Copy ... $14.99 18.99
Tenorist Rodrigo Amado gets plenty of open space to really show off his creative tones and textures here – improvising freely in a trio that also features Goncalo Almeida on bass and Onno Govaert on drums!

Medicine Buddha ... CD No Business (Lithuania), 2014. New Copy ... Just Sold Out!
Wonderful work from two players who've just gotten better and better over the decades – both musicians who've made a huge impression from the late 70s onward, but who also continue to grow and refine their ideas as the years go on! This set features beautiful duets recorded at the Rubin ... (Jazz) read more CD
Conny Bauer/No Business (Lithuania), 2020. New Copy ... Out Of Stock
Trombonist Conny Bauer is a master of deep, dark tones – which are spun out beautifully here next to the bass of Matthias Bauer and drums of Dag Magnus Narvesen – all spontaneously creating in this way that really builds nicely, and which often seems to keep all three musicians equally ...

Bobby Bradford/No Business (Lithuania), 1991. New Copy ... $22.99 29.99
We never cease to be amazed at the sonic sensibilities of the cornet of Bobby Bradford – a musician who always seems to turn out stunning work, no matter what the decade!

Marion Brown & Dave Burrell —
Live At Black Musician's Conference 1981 ... CD No Business (Lithuania), 1981. New Copy ... Temporarily Out Of Stock
A fantastic testament to the slow-burning spiritual genius of Marion Brown – a player who sometimes got eclipsed in an era of bigger avant personalities, but who really gets to showcase his talents in a spare setting like this! The live performance pairs Brown's alto with the piano of Dave ... (Jazz) read more CD
No Business (Lithuania), 2020. New Copy ... $14.99 18.99
Adam Caine has lots of sounds in his bag here – work that varies not just as he switches between electric guitar, electric bass, and synthesizer – but which also brings out a range of different qualities on each instrument! The approach is a bit hard to describe, but is not that far ... (Jazz) read more CD

Francois Carrier/No Business (Lithuania), 2020. New Copy ... Temporarily Out Of Stock
Not a suite as in the sense that you might guess from the title – nothing composed, no overarching master idea – as instead the set features a series of improvisations all recorded in Saitama – featuring a group with both Francois Carrier and Masayo Koketsu on alto saxes, plus ...

John Carter Trio —
Echoes From Rudolph's (with bonus tracks) ... CD Ibedon/No Business (Lithuania), 1977. New Copy 2 CDs ... Temporarily Out Of Stock
A real lost chapter of 70s genius from reedman John Carter – a set done after his better-known recordings with Bobby Bradford, in a style that's much more spacious overall!

Vincent Chancey/No Business (Lithuania), 1987. New Copy ... Out Of Stock
Great live work from French horn player Vincent Chancey – one of the few jazz musicians we've ever known to touch that instrument, and maybe one of the best!

No Business (Lithuania), 1982. New Copy ... $14.99 18.99

Free Jazz Group Weisbaden —
Frictions/LST/No Business (Lithuania), 1969/1971. New Copy ... Temporarily Out Of Stock
A pair of albums from this lesser-known German improv group from the start of the 70s – two rare albums that are as free as their name, and which were both initially pressed in small runs of just a few hundred copies! The quartet have a surprisingly lyrical approach to their music at times ... (Jazz) read more CD
No Business (Lithuania), 2018. New Copy ... $14.99 18.99
Reedman Frank Gratkowski always has a way of making unusual sounds from his familiar instruments – in this case, alto, clarinets, and flutes – and his energy on the record is really matched by the other three performers, who improvise with Frank in a loft in Germany with a spirit that's ...

No Business (Lithuania), 2008. Used ... $11.99
There's something about the Eastern European scene that seems to pull out some of the darkest sounds you'll ever hear from avant players – and this recent Lithuanian performance by Mats Gustafsson is key proof of that fact! The album's got a sound that's often even more abstract than avant ... (Jazz) read more CD
Barry Guy —
Irvin's Comet ... LP No Business (Lithuania), 2021. New Copy ... Out Of Stock
Solo bass from the great Barry Guy – titled after the painting Comet, by Albert Irving – an image which graces the cover of the record – but served up here in a style of sound that's completely Barry's own!

No Business (Lithuania), 1992. New Copy ... $9.99 18.99
Dark-edged, long-form improvisations from the duo of William Hooker on bass and Thomas Chapin on tenor – recorded in the early 90s in New York, but done with a freewheeling sound that really carries on a loft jazz legacy!

Katarsis4 —
Live At The Underground Water Reservoir ... CD No Business (Lithuania), 2021. New Copy ... $14.99 18.99
We're not entirely sure if the set was recorded underground, but there's definitely a sense of resonance that comes through in the performance – this echoey space that just seems to further intertwine the improvisations of the members of the group! Katarsis4 is an all-horn group – with ... (Jazz) read more CD
No Business (Lithuania), 2016. New Copy ... $9.99 18.99
It seems like it's been many years since we last heard from reedman Peter Kuhn – but the sharpness of this set hardly marks the passage of time, as Kuhn's every bit as vibrant as he was a force on the avant scene of the late 70s and early 80s! As before, Kuhn handles a lot of b-flat and bass ... (Jazz) read more CD

Adam Lane/No Business (Lithuania), 2013. New Copy ... Out Of Stock
Adam Lane's bass is superb here – really shaping the sound in a sublime way right from the start – brooding and bold up from the bottom – never too heavy-handed, but a force that directs the recording beautifully, and really gives shape to the alto of Darius Jones and drums of ...

No Business (Lithuania), 2019. New Copy ... $16.99 29.99
The album's got a very poetic title, and a wonderfully poetic sound as well – music that adds up to way more than the 1000 seconds promised on the front, served up in beautiful duets between Jan Maksimowicz on soprano sax and Dimitrij Golovanov on piano! Some tunes are quite short, others ... (Jazz) read more LP, Vinyl record album

Creole Gardens – A New Orleans Suite ... CD No Business (Lithuania), 2009. New Copy ... Temporarily Out Of Stock
A really compelling collaboration between Joe McPhee and Michael Zerang – both players who've worked together often in the past, but who seem to find a fresh new voice on this album!

No Business (Lithuania), 1993. New Copy ... $22.99 29.99
The core trio here steps out on their own at first, and are then augmented by work from the Lithuanian Young Composers Orchestra – an added quartet who really bring an intensity to the performance!

In Residency At Bitches Brew ... CD No Business (Lithuania), 2021. New Copy ... $14.99 18.99
Bitches Brew is the club, not the sound of the music – a night spot in Yokohama where European reedman Liudas Mockunas improvised these performances in the company of a range of different Japanese players!

Sam Rivers —
Zenith – Sam Rivers Archive Project 2 ... CD No Business (Lithuania), 1977. New Copy ... $14.99 18.99
A fantastic lost slice of work from reedman Sam Rivers – recorded at a point when he was really able to let loose and go for a long stretch of a time – and with a mode that's a bit similar to his better-known late 70s recordings for the Circle label! Some of the elements here are the ... (Jazz) read more CD

Braids – Sam Rivers Archive Project Vol 4 ... CD No Business (Lithuania), 1979. New Copy ... $14.99 18.99
Unissued work from the fantastic Sam Rivers – a live date recorded in Germany in 1979, with a vibe that's somewhere in the territory of Sam's late 70s albums for the Circle label with Joe Daley – but handled here in a nicely different way!

Sam Rivers/No Business (Lithuania), 1971. New Copy ... Out Of Stock
A tremendous lost performance from the great Sam Rivers – working here with an ultra-hip trio that features Cecil McBee on bass and Norman Connors on drums!

Masayuki JoJo Takayanagi/No Business (Lithuania), 1990. New Copy ... Temporarily Out Of Stock

John Tchicai/No Business (Lithuania), 2013. New Copy ... Temporarily Out Of Stock
